Pipe Major

Throughout history, Scotsmen have gone to war led by a Pipe Major playing his Great Bagpipe. His job was to help his unit mates to understand, in the chaos of the battlefield, where they were supposed to be and stay together.

Sometimes the pipe major was used to deceive and confuse the enemy regarding the unit’s whereabouts, and occasionally he would just play out loud to annoy the enemy.
